Your wedding day can be one of the most nerve-wracking, yet happiest days of your life. Embarking on a vow of eternal love with the woman of your dreams is a truly beautiful experience and as the gorgeous groom, you wish to fulfil your role and make your future wife feel like a princess. The ceremony, service and post-wedding celebrations are of course all crucial in this, but how about a little wedding gift in the morning to start her day with a smile?

At ROX, we offer diamond jewellery to suit every occasion.  We love the tradition that the bride and groom must not see each other the night before the wedding, because this means you can get a courier to deliver a gift to your bride to be!As the diamond engagement ring has already been taken care of, you could opt for a simple handwritten letter in which you discuss your love for her and what she means to you. This is guaranteed to have her thrilled to be walking up the aisle with you.

If you’re feeling extra generous, a piece of diamond jewellery may just do the trick. Diamond jewellery is the perfect accessory for any bride and will add to the sparkle that will be already gleaming on her finger. A necklace with a heart cut diamond presented in a romantic cushioned red box will definitely make your bride smile and keep the mother in law on side!

Underwear is also a popular wedding morning gift idea; and if you’re cheeky and loved enough to pull it off and get away with it, then why not!

When considering purchasing a diamond, whether it is diamond rings for the woman you wish to marry or another form of diamond jewellery, you may have heard the term ‘the 4 C’s of diamonds.’ This refer to various criteria that you should consider when purchasing; carat, cut, colour and clarity. However, many customers are unsure of what this all means.

A diamond’s size is measured in carat weight; each diamond carat is also equal to 100 points. However, do not make the mistake of assuming that a bigger rock is always better, as it is dependent on the three remaining Cs.The second characteristic is the ‘cut’; simply the shape of the diamond. The cut is important as the quality of this affects the light that escapes from the diamond. A good quality cut will really keep the diamond sparkling, which is the ideal look for diamond engagement rings. At ROX we believe that the cut is the most important thing to consider, as a well cut diamond really affects its value.

Colour is the natural body colour visible in a diamond and is purely down to nature. As a rule, the closer a diamond is to colourless, the more valuable and beautiful it is deemed to be, which is something to keep in mind.

Clarity is an indication of a diamond’s purity. Tiny traces of natural elements are always trapped inside diamonds due to the way they are cut. These are often referred to as birthmarks, because they are formed naturally and are unique to each stone, making each piece of jewellery different to the next.

Diamond jewellery has been a winner in the femininity stakes for many years now. From the glam of Marilyn to the red carpet in today’s decade, the precious jewellery trend has never faltered and many girls enjoy dreams of having their own. Diamonds really are a girl’s best friend and at ROX we completely understand why, yet many girls often want to know a little bit more about this precious stone.
